Boisy & fellow collectors,

IIUC the prototyping for Liber809 was done on a 130XE - yes?

 From what little I've been able to glean from Wikipedia etc, the 130XE 
appears to be the 'best' 8-bit Atari machine produced. Only the XEGS and the 
800XE were produced later, but IIUC they are actually technically inferior.

Is that the case?

I ask because there's a 130XE on offer and I'm considering buying it with a 
mind to (amongst other things) trying Liber809 sometime in the future. (It 
comes with a light gun, so Boisy I'll need you to write a light gun driver 
for NitrOS9) :)

Regards,
